FormscanBy Gary Carson - Paul Townend is an eye-catching booking for BUTCHER HOLLOW and he can gain a deserved win over timber. The Kingston Hill gelding has been placed in three maiden hurdles over the winter following his bumper win at Galway in October and has run into some smart sorts. He has a decent rating of 118, shared by a couple of others in the field. Cut The Rope has the same mark and comes here off the back of a solid run to chase home Paggane at Punchestown last month. The Lovely Man was second in handicap company at Gowran Park on his return from a short break last month and is another that has to be on the shortlist.
